hi all, well i started my winter upgrades a while ago, but still not finished yet

so i thought it was time to take some pictures and upload them.

this is what it was like, apart from the rear arches had been damaged

bubble screen fitted 3

the 1.6 pinto

so this winter, it got so far:
quick rack fitted
hi spec rear brakes
wilwood bias valve
windband set up
total rebuild of the pinto, to a nice spec,
new manifold for bike carbs
dizzy non-vav advance this time
Burton cam cover
Westfield alu sump
shiny indicator stalks
carbon rear arches
carbon front arches

still doing the carbon work it will not be perfect but it will do for now until next winter)

i am sure there is more, but that is a brief run down for now.

thanks again danny great work

stu

Couple of questions about wishbones, are they just rosejointed or do they allow you to move the wishbones back 15mm to help self centering and does the Transit drag link joint screw into the wishbone or does it use the alloy adjuster.

hi there, it still does have the thread for the Transit drag link at the top.

and yes they do allow the wishbone to move back more, not quite sure what distance yet, as i will be getting Danny to set my car up for me

stu

Shame about them not taking the adjuster as it saves having to take the mushroom out to adjust the camber also allows for fine tuning camber as you're not restricted to one complete turn of the joint.
